Christian Nègre accused of drugging women during job interviews
Christian Nègre, a former high-ranking official at the French Ministry of Culture, is under investigation for allegedly drugging women during job interviews. It is estimated that nearly 250 women may have been victims of his actions between 2009 and 2018.
Accusations suggest that Nègre secretly administered diuretics to candidates, often via coffee, to induce an uncontrollable need to urinate. He reportedly then led the women into public spaces or isolated areas, such as under bridges along the Seine, to watch them struggle with the effects.
Victims, including Anaïs de Vos and Marie-Hélène Brice, have shared testimonies describing feelings of physical weakness, disorientation, and extreme psychological distress. The investigation covers charges of drug administration, invasion of privacy, and sexual assault. The case has brought renewed attention to the concept of chemical submission in France.
